“…Hasil validasi dengan ligan unik lain yang diuji adalah XPE (3,6,9,12,15,18 bahwa terdapat empat senyawa dari biji kopi (Coff ea canephora.ex.A.Froehner) yang memiliki aktivitas menghambat enzim lipase pankreas yaitu asam klorogenat (asam 3-O-kafeoilkuinat), asam 5-O-kafeoilkuinat, asam 4,5-O-dikafeoilkuinat, asam 5-O-p-kumaroilkuinat. Penelitian ini merupakan lanjutan terhadap hasil uji in vivo penelitian sebelumnya terhadap aktivitas biji kopi hijau (14,15,16) dan penggunaan orlistat sebagai kontrol positif (3,4) . Nilai ChemPLP senyawa uji tertinggi berdasarkan hasil uji in silico yang dibandingkan dengan kontrol positif orlistat sebagai inhibitor lipase pankreas (-65,3258) yaitu senyawa Asam 4,5-O-dikaff eoilkuinat dengan nilai -85,3375.…”
